Description nicklevinson 2008-08-29 00:35:08 UTC 
Which desktop is running determines how many file type-relevant menus appear in 
an Open or Save dialog.

The 2 menus occur when Writer is running with the Gnome 2.10.0 desktop. When 
the desktop for KDE 3.4.0-6 Red Hat is running, only 1 menu appears in the 
dialog. This appears to be a defect in restricting functionality when running 
with KDE, not with Gnome.

Perhaps a decision should be made to combine the 2 menus for convenience or to 
disaggregate the 1 menu for user control. I favor disaggregating 1 into 2 when 
KDE is running, especially if label clarity is provided (as discussed in issue 
93052).

Fields in this issue initialized automatically by your site based on the 
terminal I'm using when submitting this are irrelevant, since I'm submitting 
from a public terminal.

I'm closing this issue.

This is Gnome-specific. The setting that controls which dialogs appear for the
Save and Open functions is in Tools > Options but only if the Gnome desktop
environment is running; whereas if KDE is running Writer > Tools > Options
doesn't have the option.

When OOo dialogs are run in either desktop environment, a single type menu
appears, not two. So the problem only occurs when OS dialogs are run.

So this is about a non-OOo dialog when Gnome is running. So it's their problem.

This is based on OOo 3.0.0 OOO300m9 (Build 9358).

A somewhat related issue is at Bug 105789
(http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=105789).

Thank you.
